Some Useful AdviceRegarding Achilles Tendonitis/Tendinosis
With any injury/disorder, it's essential to take theright steps to encourage a quicker healing time while also preventing re-injury.That's why knowing what to do when you have Achilles Tendonitis/Tendinosis isvital. Here are some tips to help you avoid some commonly made mistakes.
Surgery is a very last resort. Beware if your doctor or a surgeon recommends surgery after having had it for less than 18 months. Almost all cases of Achilles Tendonitis/Tendinosis can be resolved with the right conservative treatments such as low level laser therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises, footwear changes, and effective, purpose-made orthotics.
Don't delay treatment. As with other pathologies, Achilles problems may get worse or become chronic if you delay treatment. Continuing your normal activities with a damaged Achilles Tendon can make it much worse. Be sure to seek treatment right away if you notice symptoms of this disorder, as its probably been brewing for some time.
Use ice and pain relief medication with caution. Ice may relieve pain and swelling but keeping it on your skin for too long can cause tissue damage. Likewise, using pain relief medication as a temporary fix to allow you to engage in activities may exacerbate your symptoms and can worsen your problem. Avoid cortisone injections altogether as these can further damage the Tendon and surrounding tissues.
Be diligent and patient with your treatment and rehabilitation. Conservative treatments are only beneficial if you do them correctly and often enough. Be sure to follow instructions carefully, from how often to rest or stretch to how often you need to wear your orthotics. Be patient, it may take several weeks or even months to completely heal your heel.
